Advising Policy

All Management Program students (graduate, post-baccalaureate, and undergraduate) must obtain academic advisement each semester before they are allowed to register. Academic advisement is accomplished by any member of the Management Program faculty, and such advisement may be done at any time during the semester. Management Program faculty select specific blocks of time for carrying out formally scheduled Academic Advisement midway through each semester and on Registration Day. Entering graduate students are academically advised at a formal evening orientation session which is held on Registration Day.

All students have an assigned advisor who is a member of the faculty in the Management Program. Students are encouraged each semester to communicate with their advisor in person, by e-mail, using fax, via telephone or voice mail messages so the need for advisement will not become a critical item during the student’s academic experience. After the student has been assigned an advisor, their advisor is responsible for maintaining records regarding their advisement. Each faculty will be required to document the effectiveness of their advisement during their annual evaluation.

Faculty members of the Management Program will receive training and instruction in advising procedures in one or more faculty meetings during the Fall semester, designated exclusively for that purpose.

All relevant curricula by catalog date are posted to the Management Program home page, so that the faculty can have access to curricula information when they are advising.
